[SBS Star] Kwon Eun Bi Opens Up About Facing Frequent Money Requests After Her Success

K-pop artist Kwon Eun Bi revealed that after being dubbed the Waterbomb Goddess, people have started contacting her to borrow money. On September 24 episode of SBS' television show Four Men, Kwon Eun Bi, along with singer Kim Wan-sun and Hwa Sa of girl group MAMAMOO, appeared as guests. When the host Lee Sang Min said, Your 'Waterbomb' performance this year once again attracted so much attention, Eun Bi, Kwon Eun Bi responded with a smile, Well, I gave it my all. Kwon Eun Bi, who experienced a long period of being unknown before rising to success, shared her thoughts, saying, I've recently learned that you never know how life will turn out. She then confessed, But now a lot of people are starting to ask me to lend them money. When asked how much people were asking for, Kwon Eun Bi replied, It's not an enormous amount, and I could lend it, but I feel like if I do it once, they'll keep asking. Hwa Sa chimed in, saying, I've lost friends over money, so I immediately decline any money requests. If it's someone really important, I lend an amount I wouldn't mind losing. Kim Wan-sun agreed, saying, Yeah, even if I lend them money, I do so with no intention of ever getting my money back. Lee Sang Min added, When someone borrows money, it usually means something serious has happened in their life. But you shouldn't let yourself get caught up in it, advising her to firmly refuse anyone asking her to borrow money. Then, Kwon Eun Bi was asked if she had ever borrowed money from someone. Kwon Eun Bi answered, No, I haven't, but then remembered, Actually, I have borrowed money from my older brother before. Another honest Tak Jae Hoon then humorously suggested, You should hold onto that feeling―because someday, you might need to borrow money too, prompting laughter. To which Lee Sang Min concluded, That's not a real solution. This isn't going anywhere, sorry, and ended the discussion. (Credit= SBS Four Men, 'silver_rain.__' Instagram) (SBS Star)

[SBS Star] I Wanted to End the Whole Thing & Leave Han Hye Jin Mentions Breakup with Jeon Hyun Moo

Model Han Hye Jin mentioned her breakup with ex-boyfriend announcer Jeon Hyun Moo. On September 18, Han Hye Jin guested on the first episode of comedian Park Na-rae's YouTube show. The two reminisced about what brought them closer when they first met on MBC's television show 'I Live Alone'. I don't think we would have become close if we had met somewhere else. , Han Hye Jin said, and Park Na-rae agreed. Park Na-rae said Han Hye Jin was difficult to talk to at first, but she liked Han Hye Jin's professional attitude. I thought, 'Wow, there's someone as passionate as me!'. That's how we became close. , Park Na-rae remembered. During their conversation, Park Na-rae mentioned 'Yeoeunpa', a spin-off project on 'I Live Alone' she did with Han Hye Jin and Hwasa of K-pop girl group MAMAMOO. It was a sort of a 'B-rated' concept where we wore unusual makeup and costumes. , Park Na-rae said. On the morning of the 'Yeoeunpa' shoot, Hye Jin called me and asked, 'What are you wearing today? Show me your makeup.'. She, a model, wanted to go harder than me, a comedian. I loved her passion. , she added. Han Hye Jin, however, revealed that she was not very happy about participating in 'Yeoeunpa'. That was very stressful for me. Still, I did it since you wanted it, Na-rae. You wanted to do the project so much, and if I said no, it wouldn't happen. , Han Hye Jin said. Since I'm a model, I don't like looking bad. I didn't want to look silly because my job was to look gorgeous all the time. Plus, that was after my breakup, so my position at MBC was a bit... , Han Hye Jin added, indirectly mentioning her breakup with Jeon Hyun Moo, another 'I Live Alone' cast. Honestly, I just wanted to end the whole thing and leave. But you wanted to do 'Yeoeunpa' a lot and seemed very passionate about it. , Han Hye Jin said. Hwasa probably didn't wish to commit that much to the concept, too. She must have had the hardest time with it. She is a musician, think about it! , the model added, bursting into laughter. You don't have to apologize to us, though, as 'Yeoeunpa' was so loved. I'm fine with it, but it wasn't an easy concept. , she commented. Later on the show, Han Hye Jin asked Park Na-rae who would be her next guest; I'm guessing that it would be one of the 'I Live Alone' family. , the model guessed. Is it him? , she asked and laughed, indirectly referring to her ex. No, it would be awkward to feature you two one after another. , Park Na-rae replied. Meanwhile, Han Hye Jin and Jeon Hyun Moo made their relationship public in February 2018. However, the two broke up in March 2019. (Credit= '나래식' YouTube, 'mbc_ilivealone' Instagram) (SBS Star)

[SBS Star] 'Like Byul in Front of Taengoo' Moon Byul Shares Why Taeyeon's Nickname Is In Her Song

Moon Byul of K-pop girl group MAMAMOO explained why the nickname of Taeyeon, the leader of another K-pop girl group, Girls' Generation, was mentioned in a song from her recently released solo album. On February 21, Moon Byul guested on MBC FM4U's radio show, hosted by comedian Kim Shin-young. On the show, Moon Byul talked about 'Starlit of Muse', her first studio album as a solo artist. Kim Shin-young said she listened to all the tracks on the album and asked Moon Byul about one of the tracks, 'NOLTO'. Does Taeyeon know that she was mentioned in it? , Kim Shin-young asked, pointing out a line that mentioned 'Taengoo', Taeyeon's nickname. Moon Byul responded, I don't think she would know. It is my first time talking about it on air. Moon Byul shared that the mentioned line in 'NOLTO' that said, 'Don't cry later like Byul in front of Taengoo', was inspired by the moment when she guested on tvN's television show 'Amazing Saturday' and cried in front of Taeyeon, who is a regular cast member of the show. I cried a lot in front of her back then, and it's still a hot topic on the show. , she remarked. Moon Byul explained to Kim Shin-young that Taeyeon has been her role model for a long time; I tried to follow in her footsteps when I was a trainee. She is my biggest role model as a girl group member and solo artist, and I learn a lot from watching her work in the industry. I guess that's why I cried when I met her on the show. Listening to what Moon Byul said, Kim Shin-young told her, Taeyeon loves it when other artists mention her in the lyrics. , which made Moon Byul gasp with excitement. I really hope she will listen to the song. , Moon Byul remarked. When asked about rapper HANHAE's featuring on the song, Moon Byul said she could not imagine anyone else doing it. This album is about me returning to the mindset I had when I first started. HANHAE was the one who taught me how to rap when I knew nothing about it, so he was the only one I could think of to feature on this song. When I asked him, he agreed right away. , she said, expressing how much she appreciated it. (Credit= 'tvN D ENT' 'Mhz 므흐즈' YouTube, 'mo_onbyul' Instagram) (SBS Star)
